Drywall patch at 10am. Faucet install at noon. Ceiling fan at 3. You don't have time to sit down and "do paperwork." Send a clean, professional estimate from the customer's kitchen table in about 60 seconds.
You don't need Jobber. You don't need a $50/month app with features you'll never touch. You need something simple that makes you look like a real business.
Drywall patches, paint, door hardware, light switches, labor rate, minimum service charge — the stuff you quote every day. Your prices, your markup.
Customers trust a professional PDF way more than "hey it'll be about $350." Look legit. Win the job.
Handyman work is the most diverse trade in contracting. In a single day, you might hang a TV, fix a leaky faucet, patch drywall, install a ceiling fan, and re-caulk a shower. Your estimating software needs an enormous price book covering dozens of task categories.
Pricing structure for handyman work is different from specialized trades. Most handymen charge by the hour plus materials, or use minimum-charge pricing. Your estimates need to reflect this clearly.
Handyman businesses thrive on repeat customers and referrals. Sending a professional, itemized estimate even for small jobs builds trust and makes you look more professional than the competition.
Multi-task visits are where handymen make the most money per hour. Software that lets you quickly stack line items and calculate a total makes package pricing easy to do on the spot.
